Technically my parents are Anglican, and though we sometimes went to church, I was never baptised. Do I have to be baptised to become a member of the Anglican Church?

    The Anglican Church (also known as the Church of England) does not require baptism to participate in worship. However, if you wish to participate in the Holy Communion or Eucharist, church doctrine requires you to have been baptised.

    It is important to note that the Anglican Church considers baptism to be "unrepeatable" and is not required of persons coming to membership in the Anglican Church from any other denomination of the Church, unless they did not receive baptism with water, in the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, in that denomination.

    Yes. Baptism is what makes a Christian, according to Anglican doctrine. Baptism in the name of the Trinity is required to be an Anglican. (You don't have to be baptized in an Anglican church, however) Confirmation is needed to be a full active, voting member of an Anglican or Episcopal Church, but it is baptism (not confirmation) which makes you a member of the God's Church.

    As an Anglican Priest, I would say that baptism, by water and by word, is essential. There are other types of Baptism, but the norm demands it! By baptism you are made a member of Christ and a Child of God and an Inheritor of the Kingdom of Heaven. It is your entrance to the Catholic Church, which of course is what the Anglican Church is.
